Urinary Incontinence or Retention Flashcards
beta 3 in the bladder
relaxes detrussor
alpha 1 in the internal sphincter
contracts urethral smooth muscle
sympathetic nerve int he micturation pathway
Hypogastric (t10-12)
external sphincter under control of
Pudendal nerve-ACH onto nicotinic receptors causes contraction
urine storage path
LOW level vesical firing–SNS outflow of Hypogastric (to IUS and Detrussor)–Somatic (pudendal) to EUS–GUARDING/ CONTINENCE reflexes–inhibits detrussor muscle contractility
Voiding Path
BLADDER FIRING INTENSELY in afferent pelvic nerve–activates spinobulbosal reflex arc–to Pontine MicCtr–PNS to bladder and sphincter-inhibits Pudendal (somatic) and SNS outflow
SNS and SOmatic inhibited
Voiding Phase
SNS (hypogastric) to IUS and Detrussor and Somatic (Pudendal) to EUS are very active
storage phase…this is continence
First line therapy usually after behavioral modification
Antimuscarinic meds, tolteridine, oxybutinin
*not without major adverse effects
problem with anticholinergics especially in elderly population
-drug drug interactions
>cognitive impairment
urge in continence seen in what patients
BPH with overflow
Alzheimers
parkinsons
Strokes
tx of urge incontinence
Anticholinergics
oxybutinin
tolterodine
urge incintinence will present how?
urgency and frequency, day and nocturia
stress incontinence will present how?
minimal urine loss with sneezing or laughing
tx of stress incontienence
topical E
Alpha agaonist
non-pharm methods
cause of atonic bladder
*complete loss of bladder control
severe DM neuro3pathy
stroke
Tx for atonic bladder
catheter
muscarinic rceptors on the bladder
m2 and m3
M2 in the bladder does what
opposes beta adrenergic receptors-indirect effect on bladder muscle
M3 in bladder does what
direct effect on contracting smooth detrussor muscle of bladder
blockade of M2/M3 results in
retnetion,
decreased contraction
(unopposed beta stimulation of IUS/detrussor
Colinergic excess
Diarrhea (and Diaphoresis) and abdominal cramping Urination Miosis (pinpoint pupils) Bradycardia (muscarinic) or Emesis (Nausea and Vomiting) Lacrimation Lethargy Salivation *therfore anticholinergics have the oposite effects of all these
